[Movie] Heroes

Yes, that was Hayden Pannetiere. Threw me for a loop, but apparently she's been doing the things for quite a while now. Or so say the girls I was watching with.

Spoiler:

Good call on the gun, Crash. I would dispute a point and bring up another one - we're not sure about the quick-learning ability, because it was never resolved (that I saw) whether Sylar got Charlie's power in the end - the reference to the brain tumor might mean that she died of natural causes. However, it's probably safe to assume that this is the case and Sylar has that one as well.

The point I want to bring up is the power of voice that Sylar used when he said "Murder" today and when Peter basically attacked Isaac. What was that? Have we seen any manifestation of that in the past?

Also, why must they keep killing off the attractive females? First Eden, then Simone.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok, I haven't kept up on the comics. That's very good to know, thanks. (:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

Except that Sylar's still building powers, and knows at least in some measure how to control them - it looks like Peter doesn't entirely understand the stuff that he's got from Sylar. And they seem best accessible to him when he's pissed and aggressive, since that's how he felt with Sylar around. I dunno - they're going to have some way to balance it, I'm sure.


On another note, do we know what power allowed Sylar to not get killed by bullets?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

He gets at least thrown back by the bullets that Mr. Bennett fires after Sylar attacks his wife, though, too. So that's twice he's been hit by bullets and come out essentially unscathed. Hmm. I wonder how you kill him?

The thick skin would be sweet. =D

How ya doing, buddy?

He better not. He's from New York. It's soda, not pop.

ps i love seeing my uber-happy avatar next to posts with angry faces <3

Most amazing jew boots

HOLY CRAP SO MANY LOOSE ENDS AND THE MONTH AND A HALF HIATUS IS GOING TO KILL ME!!!!

Seriously, my friend and I emitted gut-wrenching cries from deep within our souls when it said we had to wait until April 23rd for the next episode. Plus I have a final that day, I think. Good luck focusing. >.>

Good catch on Peter's scar - I hadn't noticed that. Many thoughts percolating in my head, not enough to want to write out right now. My opinion would just change a few hours later.

FELIPE NO

Mohinder's sister, Shanti, was apparently gifted and we've seen that these talents definitely run along familial lines. Sylar has never seen the actual list, so he likely hasn't made this connection. If Mohinder has latent powers, Sylar wouldn't really know to look for them.


Also, total jeers to Ando suddenly appearing in Linderman's casino. How in the hell did he manage to get a job there, let alone a job with such high security clearance? No, that entire solution was poorly contrived and reeks of deus ex machina. Ando was sent home. There should've been a better way for Hiro to get the sword than divine intervention.

Sylar knew about Shanti, though. He said Suresh trusted him telling him about that. And I think that if Mohinder was on the list, Suresh might have taken him off of it when he realized what Sylar was doing. Still, it would be awesome if Mohinder suddenly manifested powers.

I'll jeer with you on Ando's deus ex machina role, but it wouldn't be hard for him to be in that position - he could be a low-level guard, but when that button was pushed it apparently called all of the security. Right? So even the low-level clearance guys would have the alert. It's just fishy that he got there first, and long enough before everyone else that they could barricade the door.

I'm fairly certain that the New York blowing up bit is more complex than we're thinking. There are too many unknown variables - if Peter has more control over his powers now, why blow up? Could be to get rid of Sylar - sacrificing others' lives in order to put down one that threatens even more. We're not even positive Peter's doing the exploding, are we? We assume because a painting of a nondescript person and Peter's vision of the future that he's the cause, but we don't know where the vision of the future ability came from, do we? Maybe I just missed some major aspect of the plot or something, but it seems like there's more going on than we're giving credit for. And if Peter's vision of the future is accurate beyond just being symbolic, why is Simone there (unless reality-altering-lady is there, but then why is Isaac with her?) and why would Nathan just go up to his soon-to-explode brother? It seems like Peter's vision is more telling of the fact that he had to gain control of his powers rather than giving an accurate portrayal of the inevitable outcome of ongoing events.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

lollin'. =D

best. explanation. yet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Man, what a great episode. The graphic novels revealed the Linderman revelation before it hit the show, but the backstory included was really neat and tells a lot about the Petrelli-Linderman connection. I'm still kinda miffed that they kept dangling Mrs. Petrelli in front of us the way they did - while they're leaving it up in the air whether or not she has a power, the fact that both Nathan and Peter have powers and that Mr. Petrelli apparently did not leads me to strongly suspect that she does have a power. They just won't tell us what until the opportune moment. Linderman's connection to the company, while heavily implied before, was cemented in this episode because of what's-her-bucket (the perception-bender) manipulating Micah. And I'm guessing Micah's role is to rig the election now that Wireless 'caused' the original rigging to 'fail.' Silly website involvement with the show.

I'm getting kinda fed up with Hiro's storylines. I love his character, but he's been mostly worthless for so long. Can we please move along to something interesting for him? I suppose there's some possibility within this new timeline, but I'm kinda iffy on it.

I'm also liking Sylar's warped usage of Isaac's power. Can't decide whether he's just getting used to it, or if the continued integration of multiple lines of DNA are warping him to the point where he won't be able to accurately use all of his powers. And what Isaac said about letting everyone know how to stop him - the questions that statement raises are many. Mostly, though, I want to know if the information is in the comic he sent off, in the sketchbook that he gave away, or if he gives Sylar his power and Sylar reveals the method, or if the simple fact that he integrated one too many DNA strings messes him up enough to reveal his weakness, or what.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

She stopped the rigging of the election by having people play a minigame to get rid of fake votes. It was pretty silly, really.

It's still possible that Micah's being used to keep the tracking system intact, but I'm guessing he's got a backup of that to avoid being destroyed by the explosion - he needs the explosion to happen so that Nathan's popularity can skyrocket as he pulls everyone through the crisis. I don't think he'd allow his operations to be crippled by something he designs to happen. I just wonder what will cause Peter to go off - are they going to ask him to do it, and will he do it of his own volition? 'cuz that could be pretty cool.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

When he had Sylar sedated and restrained, he still hadn't done the spinal tap and completed his DNA research yet - after that was done, he shot (at) him. I guess he didn't off Sylar this time because he was so upset about Peter being dead.

And I guess I was referencing Sylar's 'weakness' because Isaac mentioned 'the way' to beat him. I was assuming that meant that there would be a key weakness, though that's not necessarily the case.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've indoctrinated about 20 or so people - we had two marathon nights where we watched the first 20+ episodes, and now we have a weekly Heroes party that's attended by around 15 people. I can't wait for tonight's episode - but I have a prior commitment during the show, so I'll have to catch it online. :/

I was speaking idiomatically.

Agreed.

Spoiler:

Man, so much going on, and the lines between good/bad/indifferent are so blurred now. Which way is up? Who's good? What's right? I have a feeling we won't really come to a conclusion about that until the season is done. And even then, I have my doubts.

Linderman and Mrs. Petrelli obviously think they're doing something for the good of the future - the only way I'll completely buy that take is if Mrs. Petrelli can see the future - which would explain why Peter had the vision he did, and where he got the power from. Sylar's past comes into focus and we see that his mom (Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors, that was weird) shaped a lot of what he became. He's still a sicko, though, and I'm interested to see what they do with him.

I was torn whether Micah was being brought in to rig the election or to make sure the tracking system stayed in place, but now that we know that the tracking system is Molly/Mollie/whatever, it looks like he gets to rig the election. And how DL and NikiJessica will play into that will be interesting - NikiJessica knows Nathan, but does she know that he's working with Linderman now? And will that affect whether she decides to let Micah take part?

I'm a bit peeved by the Peter blowing up bit, though. Ted had to work to get his powers to the level they're at - does that mean that Peter absorbs the strength of the powers at the time of contact, too? And if so, why doesn't he absorb the control? It's kinda weird. At any rate, I'll be interested to see how Claire's role in that plays out. And taking Peter's vision of the future into account, everyone's there (though not in the right clothes) except for Isaac and Simone. Don't know if that factors in at all. Plus, where's invisible guy (I forgot his name)? We assume he ran off, but he's a possible additional piece. We know that he punched Peter out when he went into freakout mode before. It would be poetic to have him materialize there at the beginning of the next episode and clock Peter again. He'd be able to talk to Mr. Bennet, then, too.

Lastly, Mohinder's involvement is interesting to me. Now he's helping the company because he thinks he's helping himself, but where will that end him up? And how much of Suresh's formula and list were formed by Chandi or whatever her name is? (EDIT: nevermind, the disease is the same, but it's not necessarily fair to believe that the powers were the same. Too unsure on it.)

Anyway. I've only had 12 hours to process things (and half of that was spent sleeping), so I'll probably be even more curious before the next episode comes along.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, I caught that pretty quick - just with the way that the storyline has always played out, as soon as it was a little girl, it had to be that little girl.

It seems like seeing the future in vision and painting the future are distinctly different, though. I could be wrong, but it seems separate to me.

I agree with the prediction/feeling on Peter blowing up Sylar - but because I agree, and it seems logical, I'm guessing that it's wrong. :P Although I completely called the solution to Molly's problems as soon as Mohinder became involved.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If Sylar got her power, it'd be game over. He obviously didn't in the future, or he'd have found Claire long before.

And the people he hid were people who had powers but weren't big threats to public safety, I think.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
